Summary

Council heard that the Creek water improvement project cannot proceed to EPA submission or bidding until Orbis completes a National Historic Preservation Study required by the EPA; engineers will await that report before the next phase.

Council member Mike Mumper updated the body that the Creek water project is moving forward but must clear an EPA requirement: a National Historic Preservation Study (NHPS) before the project can be submitted to the EPA and taken out to bid. The minutes state: "The EPA requires a National Historic Preservation Study before moving to the next phase. The company Orbis is working on getting this study done and reporting to the engineers so we can move to the next phase."

No schedule was provided beyond the statement that Orbis is preparing the study and will report to engineers; councilors received the update and took no separate formal action on the project during the meeting. The requirement means the project timeline depends on the NHPS completion and subsequent EPA review.
